Did a search for “jello mold” 🤷🏼‍♀️ Great recipe!! I’m going to add pistachio instant pudding and shredded coconut and garnish with maraschino cherries for Christmas this year. So retro🥰

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

@@amandakozlowski-ghettas9515 thank you

[@MimiDishes]

I was look for a recipe. You was in the bunch..so I open and took a look...Believe I was looking for a jello salad..So I just started following ya

[@valerieirvin249]

Just came across it on U- tube,

[@sharibailey2148]

Thank you for sharing this delicious lime green jello! zBrought back so many happy gatherings with family and friends!God Bless you!

[@bonniesawyer9392]

I really would love for you to show us some more forgotten 1950s recipes, I miss them a lot. Thank you so much God bless you.

[@janiefugate6287]

I use cottage cheese. Crushed drained pineapple and chopped pecans. Delicious. Oh a splash of lime juice. Prepare lime Jello don't let it set up completely add cottage cheese pine apple and chopped pecans. Pour into a bowl stir well to blend and place in refrigerator to completely set up. Wonderful

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Gonna add this to my "wanna try" list

[@sbender3787]

This how we made it but with walnuts.

[@Hermititis]

That's how my relative made it, but with celery too (lime jello, drained crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, chopped pecans, diced celery).

[@paddyanne2024]

This is how I make it as well - one thing, we put the cottage cheese through a strainer first (push through with a fork) to make it smoother.

[@karenkirk3185]

My sweet mama made hers exactly this way, well except no nuts. My daddy was allergic 😢. After I married I put chopped pecans or walnuts in mine. Sweet sweet memories ❤

[@sharoncollins9182]

I can't believe I found this Salad!! My Mom always made this at Christmas dinner!! She always put it in an oblong dish and cut it in squares, but, this is good also. Thank you for sharing this long forgotten Lime Jello Salad!! It is so good!!

[@leighhodgens-st.arnold4898]

I am so grateful to have found this video through The Hillbilly Kitchen. My grandmother and mother both made this for our family Christmas dinner over many years. Sadly, time passed and other dessert trends came about but now I have the opportunity to share it with my children and grandchildren. Thank you for keeping the traditions going!!

[@angelagreen1496]

This jello dessert is also good with orange jello it tastes just like a cream circle wow so good ,,

[@dreamingmusicgal]

My Mother made a similar thing she called it congealed salad but she used 1pk of lime jello, 1pk of lemon jello, 1 cup mayo(I add little extra), 1 small can of condensed milk, 1 can of crushed pineapple and crushed black walnuts. Now she would always triple everything because at holidays there was alot of people. And I to this day still have to have it at holidays t 60 years old and don't have no one but myself.

[@kathiebray2976]

That's exactly how I make mine but use pecans. I've never seen my recipe anywhere till now! Wow! Dreamingmusicgal!! I love it "our" way!!

[@elizabethrogers6897]

My mom made this but she didn't use the marshmallows. She used extra cream cheese, and cool whip. She added chopped pecans in and sometimes maraschino cherries. My grandma found the recipe in an old magazine back in the mid 1930s and it was called Washington Dessert back then because the recipe notes said it was good enough to be served in the white house. We still make it frequently and sometimes use cherry, or orange jello. It's a winner and you just can't go wrong with it. Loved your video🥰

[@LookingForThatBlessedHope]

I was wondering if other flavors of jello would work because I don’t care for lime so thank you 😊

[@elizabethrogers6897]

Cherry, orange, or any flavor you like. If you read my original comment you will see it's a slightly different recipe because it does not use marshmallows. But you can use any jello flavor that you like. You just can't go wrong with it....soooo good😋😋

[@1949chefjojo]

I have been looking for this recipe. My girlfriend made this green geletin dessert one day for our potluck. It brought memories to my mind. It is delicious.

[@scoutj011]

THANK YOU!!!!My grandmother always made it with strawberry Jello and we called it “pink stuff”. I’ve looked everywhere for this recipe! Southern Living used to have this recipe online and I’ve looked the past several days for this exact recipe! Now I can make it!

[@cjmcdowell1904]

My Mom made this too!! It was so good She also made a jello with clear gelatin made with ginger ale and cut red grapes in the 1970s Ring jello was a popular side dish then 🤣

[@valerieirvin249]

Do you have that recipe handy? The one your mom made using ginger ale and red grapes? Think I've had it in the past. Would love to make it....

[@MimiDishes]

Yummy, I have always loved jello salad/dessert. Grow up on them,to me they are always so refreshing and cool.😊

[@donnataylor980]

I love this stuff thanks for the recipe❤😊❤

[@Tawanalynn]

This is the exact recipe my mom used…..in the 50’s and 60’s! You have a beautiful kitchen! 🥰

[@fideliaanderson5268]

Thank you Mama Vera for this delicious salad. Made it and it was wonderful!

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Glad you liked it!! I will let mom know

[@marcymcvay-smith7541]

I remember my mom making this in a mold for Christmas, I lost the recipe, so excited I found your video.

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Thanks for watching Marcy

[@christinewebb4373]

Yummy, Thank you for teaching me this Recipe.

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

My pleasure 😊

[@patriciasweet9102]

Oh this is my favorite dessert for the holidays. Mom always made it now I do. She always put it in the copper mold and put cherries in the bottom indents.

[@gladyssaldivar8880]

I entered 1950's lime jello, because my mom used to make it. I didn't have her recipe. Thanks so much.

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

So glad you found it. Have a great week

[@lavonnekelly9173]

Brings back memories...

[@mariayfarris7710]

Thank you so much for taking me back in time! Just made the dish. Testing and preparing for the upcoming holidays!

[@57athina]

My Momma made this every holiday, sweet memories thank you. I think she also added maraschino cherries Xmas time it was so good.

[@karenquick8737]

I remember my Mom making this too, and she would put it into individual molds and she would place lettuce on a small plate and then the yummy salad. For special times. I always thought that was so neat and pretty, for each person to have their own.

[@amberbaer5026]

I have looked for this recipe for along time my aunt use to make it by this is just the way she use to make it thank you so much your amazing

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

So happy we had it for you.

[@Thomas-t5d]

You are an incredible story teller. ❤

[@rosedrouse8611]

Looks great I I am happy to find this receipt not using cottage cheese I love lime flavor thanks for posting this nothing like the old time receipts have a blessed day

[@joannsimpson9568]

I have made this pretty much the same way. I got the recipe from my Aunt . She always made it for Christmas and I made it every thanksgiving. It is always requested. We knew it was seafoam salad. My husband asks for it in between also. It is a wonderful dessert or side or just an afternoon snack.

[@fotyfar]

Cute mom , bless her and bless all of u ❤

[@sandrapowell9686]

Looks so delicious, Thank you for sharing your recipe!

[@truthseeker3715]

Brings back memories. Yummy!! I found this channel by accident. Lol

[@joannrayburn5218]

Absolutely love it what a wonderful recipe thank you so much

[@Darci3333]

My request every holiday when I still had family alive was I always requested "The Green Stuff"....it was my very favorite....😋

[@wendyholcomb566]

48 years ago my Grandma Green in Tennessee made this for Christmas it was a hit. She has long passed away the recipe lost. I was just a young girl but, I can still remember the delishness of this dish and have so longed for the recipe. I am so grateful to have seen your video and I will now be able to bring it back this Christmas. I have seen other recipes yours is the real deal. I must say you also remind me of my Grandma Linnie Green and what it was like to be in her kitchen brings back such fond memories. Thank you & Merry Christmas💚🎄

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

I love how recipes bring back such special memories of our grandma's, aunt's and moms.

[@wendyholcomb566]

I know that is so right. Like I can't even make sweet tea without hearing my Granny Holcomb say, "Stir it good sweetie until the sugar melts!"💜 😄

[@marythomas3017]

I grew up eating this salad in various forms! I love it! It's the only lime I like 😆

[@pauletterichards4755]

I haven’t made this in a very long time glad I found your channel

[@jackieburkey735]

I have made this lime salad for years but in an easier method. Mix one package lime jello into a carton of cottage cheese, mixing well. Add a can of crushed , drained pineapple and a can of mandarin oranges. Mix gently. Added chopped pecans and finally add a tub of cool whip. Mix thoroughly. I have also used orange jello and we liked it, too.

[@patrickmcdaniel8123]

I wanted to make this but had zero idea of what went in it. Thank you for posting this video. This is the recipe I was looking for!

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@georginastoliker3358]

2024 December ..love this ..thanks 🎄☃️

[@tomcat3611]

I'm a 75 year old man. My wife loves this during holidays. Two questions. What temperature for water before mixing? And how long jelling in refrigerator or freezer? Want to make some for her this weeknight. Thanks & Blessings. Tom-Charleston, SC😊

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

We use boiling water, and refrigerate at least 4-5 hours or overnight. I sure hope she likes it. Let us know.

[@lavernaturner4757]

I love lime Jello and lime Jello salad. I can't believe you mentioned "Dream Whip". Most people don't know or realize what that is. I remember it well from the 70's. I will make this after my husband goes to the grocery and gets me some lime Jello and the cool whip. I could make fresh whip cream but not sure how that would hold up. I will follow your recipe. Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

It's so good! It brings back so many memories for me too...one of moms treats when we were kids

[@annabrahamson4320]

They make Dream whip again

[@stock_orchid]

I love anything with marshmallows!! This salad looks yummy. So hard to find a jello salad that doesn't ask for cottage cheese. TY

[@lavernaturner4757]

Dream whip was a whipped topping mix you could make if you didn't have cool whip or homemade whipped cream back in the day.

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

I think making yourself even tastes better

[@catherinecookson225]

Thank you Mrs Vera for inviting us into your home. I am going to make this. It'll help us beat the heat.😉

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Hope you enjoy, Mom loves sharing her recipe ideas. Have a great rest of your week.

[@kreh1100]

I love this salad!! We called it Sea Foam Salad, glad to see it's still going❤

[@crazycat4695]

My mom always made it with 1 cup hot water to dissolve jello, 1 cup of vanilla ice cream, can of pineapple with juice, top with pecans. It is the best!!

[@bonniesawyer9392]

I was raised in a girls orphanage in Lynchburg Virginia and there we would have a salad Jell-O salad that they put shaved carrots and celery in it and it was some kind of good . I can’t remember how it was made and that was somewhere around the early 50s.

[@carolynmorris7303]

I'm going to try your recipe, because it looks good.

[@gemini2twins1955]

I love your video. I am going try this real soon. I hoping it will made a great summertime dish. Mom made a lot of Jello but I don't remember this. I am so excited about this.

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Hope you enjoy it.

[@TraceOfMe19]

Uncooked lime jello, cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, marshmallows, crushed walnuts and coolwhip.

[@donnastormer9652]

When we moved to Florida from Washington state, we always said pecans The way you say it. But we were told by locals thats something Granny’s keep underneath the bed. The proper terminology is.Ba-cons! 😂

[@AnthonyArena-g7l]

I like this dessert wiith pistachios instead of pecans. Try it that way sometime!

[@dianedillard394]

gonna try this this Thanksgiving i will let you know thanks !!!

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Please do!

[@sally3938]

Yummy 😋 I'm going to make this for sure!!

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Hope you enjoy

[@jerriscollins-ruth9019]

Great dessert. 👍

[@valerieirvin249]

My mom used dream whip. Still think it tastes better than premade but extra work..... Thank you for this recipe.... I'm going to make it using cottage cheese rather than cream cheese. 👍💜

[@luckykazivlog8782]

Looks nice and yummy! 😍😋😋

[@lindastevenson3729]

I will make it today.

[@maryables6752]

Looks delicious 😋 😍

[@brendadunham2442]

We always add maraschino cherries, pecans or walnuts no marshmallows but I do like them

[@joycemiraglia280]

✍Hello...I call this Green Jello Fluff and made it for New Years Day today 2025. I use 1 box of Jello Pistachio pudding mix, 1 lg.can of crushed pineapple with the juice, 2 cups of Cool Whp, 1-1/2 cups of chopped pecans. It also calls for 2 cups of mini marshmallows but I leave them out cause it makes the Jello salad too sweet. Mix all together and refrigerate.

[@mallyndab]

My neighbor used to make a green jello salad I LOVED. I think she put cottage cheese in hers?

[@cindymclaughlin3936]

Do you remember the 1-2-3 jello? I would love to know how to make that from scratch

[@jeffchandler2521]

Can you use use cold water instead of ice cubes and how much do I use I don’t have any ice cubes.

[@cathywhittemore2647]

Thanks for the recipe. I think you should have your own channel.

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Maybe one day! It took forever to get her to do videos at all....now she is loving it...thank you for your kind words.

[@brendaredmond4678]

I know I'm a year late but I was scrolling through best Jello salads and this came up! This is the one I'm looking for but... ice? Why not cold water? Do I stir til the ice melts?

[@annisechetelat9026]

I grew up saying...pee cons!😂

[@ruthannjones5873]

Our family calls it green stuff. 😆

[@jrshooligans]

my Mom's family make this they always called green lung salad

[@joanndoornbos7242]

What size jello?

[@ursulawenk3553]

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Thanks for watching Ursula

[@candacenienius1623]

Cool whip in while it’s hot??😮

[@francescamacho4863]

Thank You for this recipe, it looks so good, my sister makes this jello salad

[@mimiandmonet]

Do I have to add the pineapple? I am not fond of it. Do I have to replace it with something else if I omit it?

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

You can definately omit it Mimi

[@lizmchenry3049]

Looks delicious. Was that a small box of jello ?

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

It was Lime Jello

[@mjm5820]

Liz, Yes

[@mjm5820]

Oops, I stand corrected. The recipe is in the description. It looks like she doubled the recipe from the other videos.

[@JaneBradford-t1g]

I’ve been wishing I had this recipe for years. Every Thanksgiving at MawMaw’s house, she served this with dinner. She let it set up in a rectangular dish ( I think it went further). What joy to have found this recipe! Thank you!

[@sharoncollins9182]

I think my Mom's recipe had a bit of Mayo in hers...son't know how much......

[@jackiegromacki686]

Have you ever heard of cookies while you sleep. Super easy. Will send you recipe if you like.

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Sounds great! I would love to have the recipe. Thank you.

[@pam8962]

Mom used cream cheese and walnuts 🍒 on top

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Sounds great!

[@cherylhoffman4003]

[@patticriss2238]

My kids call it the green stuff.

[@valerieirvin249]

Cream cheese is to rich for me too so I have to substitute it for something else like cottage cheese or yogurt..

[@TimberWolf2025]

@8:14 that's not nice, tricking her like that. I'm lactose intolerant and if someone tricked me like that, I wouldn't appreciate it. The stomaches from dairy are poisonous to us and very painful. Takes the life out of us.🤢😰

[@TraceOfMe19]

Have you heard of pear honey? Do you know how to make it?

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Yes. I’ll have to do a video on it

[@tinster01]

Couldnt find this recipe.

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

I apologize, I don't know what happened. we updated some files and must have left out the recipe on this one, it is back below in the description and also on my website at gregkantner.com/blog/archives/12376 . Again, I am so sorry this happened Tinny, have a great rest of your weekend.
